Also, to ensure you have the right size generator to run the desired appliances. Let’s run through a checklist of what you need to do to figure out the correct size for your home.
3 Things to Do to Figure Out What Size Generator You Need:
- Choose Appliances: In order to figure out what size you need, you need to figure out what appliances/devices you want to run. During an emergency power outage, list all the appliances you need to run; for example, your AC, refrigerator, and lighting.
- Use Calculator: After you have created a list then you need to add up the number of watts each appliance requires. You can usually find this information online for each appliance. Also, you can utilize a Power Supply Calculator, you can find one here.
- Choose a Generator: After, you have calculated the wattage required you can select a generator that fits your wattage requirement. One tip is to pick a generator slightly bigger than your needs so it’s not running at a full load. Also, it will reduce the noise it makes if it has more wattages available than used.
